<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerarities, post: 955709, member: 26684&quot;]I know the owner and hopefully I can acquire a picture of the piece, but it will take some time.&nbsp; If I cannot get a picture any time soon, take a look at a recent Stacks auction where there was a unique Rosa Americana Twopence that was silver washed in UNC condition.&nbsp; (I think it was a 2pence but could have been a penny.&nbsp; Also, I am 98% sure it was from the Ford Collection.)&nbsp; That piece is exactly what the silver washed Hibernia looks like, and the point of bringing it up is that is does not look anything like the Pitt 1/2 pennies that are silvered.&nbsp; The color and surface is not anywhere near the same.&nbsp; Hopefully I can get pictures to show what I mean!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>PS, the Rosa that was silver washed (I believe the &quot;silver washed&quot; was Mike Hodder&#039;s words but dont quote me on that) sold for $37,500 (give or take hammer) in that Stack&#039;s auction.&nbsp; I am out of town so I do not have any reference catalogs handy.&nbsp; Also, I believe there was a Rosa or Hibernia that was called silver washed in the Norweb sale Part II.&nbsp; I will check myself when I get home on Monday.</p><p><br /></p><p>CBD, that is a beautiful coin.&nbsp; I am always impartial to silver colonial pieces, and that one was a beauty!!&nbsp; I remember last year in the first Philadelphia Americana Auction by Stacks viewing the silver tube that had two 1724 dated pieces as end covers!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
